Personally I use amavisd, with AntiVir from H+B EDV (www.hbedv.de), trophie (http://www.vanja.com/tools/trophie/), an alternative frontend for TrendMicro's libvsapi shared library, and clamav
I'd just like to point out using an anti-virus daemon like Sophie/Trophie, F-Prot Daemon or Kapsersky Anti-Virus Daemon (just to name a few) speeds up amavis/amavisd a lot. Actually, I planned to ship amavisd on SuLi 8.1, but my time was too limited to fix some issues + add some features to amavis 0.3.12pre8 and amavisd-snapshot. So, I sheduled a deamonized version of amavis for the next SuSE Linux release - whether it will be amavisd, amavis-ng (not yet deamonized) or amavisd-new, I simply can't tell yet. Every "branch" has it's pros/cons. Probably I should start a survey ;)
I must say that amavisd is a really outstanding piece of software, and can only recommend using it. Thank you very much. I'm sure the AMaViS Team really appreciates it :)
